The “Lake Fire” has devastated over 13,000 acres within days and is now threatening the iconic Neverland Ranch, once home to Michael Jackson. By Sunday, the blaze was within one mile of the 2,700-acre property, reported RMG News.

The fire first igniting on Friday at 3:48 p.m. southeast of Santa Maria has prompted evacuation orders for Figueroa Mountain Road, Tunnel Road, and the Figueroa Campground.

Neverland Ranch, owned by Jackson from 1988 until he died in 2009, was purchased by billionaire Ron Burkle for $22 million in 2020. The rapidly advancing fire poses a significant threat to this historic estate, highlighting the urgent need for firefighting efforts to contain the blaze and protect the surrounding areas.

Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch Sold for $22M

Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch Sold for $22M

Michael Jackson’s infamous Neverland Ranch has a new owner.

Billionaire Ron Burkle, co-founder of investment firm Yucaipa Companies and a former associate of Jackson, purchased the California property for $22 million.

Burkle spent a pretty penny for the 2,700 acres and a nearly 12,000-square-foot mansion, but it was actually a steal.

The Neverland Ranch was listed for a whopping $100 million in 2015, then it returned on sale two years later for $67 million following a massive $33 million price cut. According to the Wall Street Journal, it was listed for $31 million last year.

The ranch is packed with dope amenities like 50-seat movie theater, a basketball court and several guesthouses, which have been the subject of the Leaving Neverland documentary.

Wade Robson and James Safechuck alleged the late singer abused them at his Neverland Ranch after previously defending him.

Hopefully Burkle can enjoy the property despite its reputation because it’s a quarantine paradise.
